Asian Glaciers Adding Ice Mass

A French team used satellite data to show that glaciers in part of the Karakoram range, to the west of the Himalayan region, are putting on mass.

I guess nobody told the glaciers that there is a consensus among scientists that they’re not supposed to do that. Lead researcher Julie Gardelle said:

“We don’t really know the reason. Right now we believe that it could be due to a very specific regional climate over Karakoram because there have been meteorological measurements showing increased winter precipitation, but that’s just a guess at this stage.
